Speaker: Dr. A. Javed, Cardiff University, UK
Title: International Collaborative Opportunities with Cardiff University on Cybersecurity and Related Areas
Date and Time: Fri Jan 19, 2:15pm
Location: CDS 102 Seminar Hall
ABSTRACT:
This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements and cutting-edge research we do in the cybersecurity group at Cardiff University. Our researchers have been at the forefront of addressing contemporary challenges in cybersecurity, ranging from understanding human and machine behaviour behind cyber-attacks to developing innovative models for threat detection and prediction. The discussion will encompass a spectrum of topics, including exploring novel methods in community organisation within online social networks, the correlation between emotions and malware propagation, and the development of effective countermeasures against evolving cyber threats. The talk aims to outline our work and identify areas where we can collaborate and submit joint grant applications.
